The Workplace Relations Commission awarded cleaner Richard Kudla €490.88 gross, equal to one week's notice pay, after finding Mcr Group Mcr Personell had not followed fair procedures before dismissing him. Adjudication Officer Davnet O'Driscoll dated the decision 29 November 2024. The employer said it dismissed Kudla for gross misconduct after he failed to wear protective equipment and swore at a manager. The adjudicator found he admitted both actions, but was not given advance notice that his job was at risk or a full chance to answer the allegations. His complaints about written terms and monthly vouchers were not well founded; the WRC recommended the employer prepare a voucher policy.
